We got married in a judge's private office on a Friday afternoon. Besides my husband, the only other people present were my sister, and three close friends. I told my parents a week before we got married what our plans were, and they asked, "Why so quickly? What's the hurry?" It wasn't quick or sudden for us; we'd been talking about getting married for months. The major impediment we kept circling around was that we didn't want a wedding.

I have one more wedding to attend this year. It's going to be in Texas next week, and will be amazing.
City Hall is probably the most cost-effective way to get married, but you can also have a big party, and not spend a ton of money.
